specially name them, because the num-
Der 10 unusually large. and that they
have graduAsed from the High School
OF Wilmington with suoh disttnguished
credit and honor 10 sufa oieot cause for
the publio to know Who they arc.
What 10 to be the destiny OF these
twenty -four young people? Rather,
what will they make OF themselves?
Though they have exhausted the re-
SOURCES OF such m education ~ Will
ming.on affords In her public schools,
they have pas.ei only through the arst
degree Of lite. The world il now before
them. What will they do? They are
graduates sron the High S,hool Of
Wilmlngton, bu. their practical educa-
tion 10 but begun. To vhAt use will
they pat the education to which they
have already attained? Here ere I ven
ty-four young people. whose individual
influences arc TO bs thrown into sociesy
Into the great vortex OF human lie.
What influence will they have upon
the business, social and moral world?
Some Of them will, NO doubt, having
but tasted OF the PyeriAn spring o
learning, still push on TO new conquesa
and new acquirements In the literary
world. Some OF them will NO doubt b
heard from - AdvocAtes before the bar
Judges ON she bench, preachers frou
she pulpit, orators from the rossrum
legislators for the people, leading
drAughtsmen, en- yineers, mechanics II
our great workshops, physicians a1ht
ing diseases, princ pals OF schools ant
academies, members OF college faculties
indeed, all departments OF life are opeI
to them. With What credit the younI
grAiuases will fill thess varioas station
In life will depend upon their own ei
forts. The world can be made bette
by them II they will but determine Il
make the world better. A missAk
should not be made BY crowding Int
the professions. Honors await th
manufacturer and mechanic eqcAl b
those which crown literary work.
None OF these y youug graduates shoul
imagine for minute that their edu "a
tton Is finished. This Is but the begir
ming, as Mr.. Williams told them las
night. There are yet great secrets
science that have not been discovered
The world needs men and women VII
are conscien tious and honest. Lss the'
twenty-four young graduates resol1
that hey Will fil up niche In tt
worlds wants. Lst them resolve thI
they will be NO lagg gards In the race
life.
Ga this beautiful last day OF Jur
these young graduates start from scho
Life into the world. Many are tt
storms they will encounter, but ii
s.orm, no wever furious, will have 81
var lining. Dark - the way ma
sometimes ap pear, there is hope In tt
fu.ure. Lst these young people 90 fort
In life with buoyant hearts and with
determined purpose to succeed. Th'
who do no; do this will drop out OF Il
ranks by the way and be los', Is Il
strong swim mer struggling against t
tide gives up and sinks to rise no mol
To each Of the Young graduates We vi
the co ne success In their various vol
tions In life that has crowned tn
school-liie period.
